Over the course of 80 years, the Amesbury Skiff from Lowell's Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts, earned a reputation for being exceptionally stable, seaworthy, and rugged. These boats and their ancestors were used commercially for livery, fishing, and rescue work. In more recent years the Amesbury Skiff has proven to be an ideal and extremely versatile family boat. With two side seats in the stern and two thwarts near amidships, these skiffs are comfortable and capacious. The one we'll build on the following pages is a basic tiller-steered outboard version, but a control console could be added for wheel steering. Lockers could also be added under the stern seats.
